News Missouri Supreme Court rules amendment legalizing abortion will remain on ballot
Quote:The court ordered Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft to tell local election authorities to put Amendment 3 on the Nov. 5 ballot
Quote:Missourians will have the opportunity to vote to enshrine abortion in the state constitution this November, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.
In a decision published less than three hours before the constitutional deadline to remove a question from the ballot, the Supreme Court reversed a lower court’s ruling that recommended the measure be stripped from the Nov. 5 ballot.
Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft “shall certify to local election authorities that Amendment 3 be placed on the Nov. 5, 2024, general election ballot and shall take all steps necessary to ensure that it is on said ballot,” the judgment read.
